Timing of Letter of Recs

<p>I'm going to be a sophomore this coming fall.
Currently, I'm doing a summer teaching program. My mentor teacher is willing to write a letter of recommendation for me.</p>

<p>I want that letter for Law School.</p>

<p>How should I approach this?
I have no idea what I should do... like where to download the form etc...</p>

<p>You would have to set up and pay for an account on the LSAC website.</p>

<p>remember by the time you apply to law school this recommendation is going to be anywhere from 2 to 4 years old. You would be better served having a recommendation junior or senior year</p>

<p>Do law schools look down at older recommendations?</p>

<p>And if I set up an account now, would it still be active 2-4 years later?</p>

<p>SN: A little, yes. And don’t bother setting up the account. Just ask the prof to write it and keep it on file for a couple years. When the time comes, you can send him/her the paperwork.</p>
